Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 white egg white

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Spray if using parchment to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well. Add yogurt and stir until crumbly.
  3. Dust work surface with flour. Transfer dough, knead lightly until tacky but not sticky, about 15 turns.
  4. Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each into 3/4-inch ropes and connect ends to form bagels.
  5. Brush with egg white. Bake on prepared sheet for 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a classic bagel, you can boil before baking for extra chewiness.
